Hi all,

I've already sent this email to openSUSE main list, but got no response or advice. I'm hooping that this list will give a few help/hints on what is going on.

I have several problems on my both openSUSE 10.2 installation. These problems are just the ones I've found:

My immediate guess is that the problem is coming from the build service packages. Everyone's on 10.3 these days, not sure if anyone is actively using+testing the 10.2 packages. Why not upgrade to 10.3? =)

...

- Kopete doesn't even try to connect to my configured MSN accounts. I've even tried to recompile kdenetwork3-3.5.8 and the results are the same.

Try removing your configuration settings for that user, then restarting kopete, and trying again:

mv ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc{,_old} && mv ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete{,_old}

...

- The sysinfo:/ on Konqueror does not work correctly - Strange icons... the dvd doesn't appear, etc.

Screenshot? Does the DVD appear under media:/

...

- The ftp:/ on Konqueror does not work.

What error message? Timeout?

...

- If I insert a USB Pen or DVD there is no popup notifying that a new media has been inserted and, as stated above, it will not be shown on Konqueror's sysinfo:/

It is a OpenSUSE 10.2 installation, containing latest kde-3.5.8 from the build service. I also have a lot of other repositories - mainly from Build Service.

Both my home and work machines are showing the exact same behaviors so, it is not a single machine's problem. What could be wrong? Am I the only one with this problem ? Can anyone help me on this ?

Haven't heard of anyone else having these problems... the KDE packages in the build service are unsupported. Upgrading to 10.3 is a good idea though. You can even install it from the live CD (easy option if you have /home on a separate partition).

Kind thoughts,

The latest/current KDE packages from openSUSE Build Service solved this problem.
